Assessment- Questions and
Answers 100% Pass
Positive Transfer Learning - CORRECT ANSWER-When something we've
learned previously aids us in learning at a later time
Distributed Practice - CORRECT ANSWER-Also known as spaced practice, is a
strategy of learning that makes use of smaller increments of study and practice over
a longer period of time
Massed Practice - CORRECT ANSWER-Utilizing longer study and practice
periods over a short period of time.
Ballistic Movements - CORRECT ANSWER-Muscle contractions that exhibit
maximum velocities and accelerations over a very short period of time. They
exhibit high firing rates, high force production, and very brief contraction times
(i.e. box jump or slam ball)
,Linear Movements - CORRECT ANSWER-Movement of an object from one
place to another in a straight or mostly straight line.
Angular Movements - CORRECT ANSWER-Are produced by changing the angle
between the bones of a joint. (i.e. flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction,
adduction, and circumduction)
Open Skills - CORRECT ANSWER-An open skill is one that takes place in a
dynamic and changing environment. (i.e. a basketball player trying to attack the
opponents' hoop - many variables)
Closed Skills - CORRECT ANSWER-A closed skill is a skill that takes place in a
structured and static environment. (i.e. that same basketball player taking a free-
throw shot at the opponents' hoop - distraction free and uninterrupted)
Affective Skills - CORRECT ANSWER-Relate to behaviors and attitudes that
students need to learn in order to be effective in their personal and professional
lives (i.e. feelings, values, appreciation, enthusiasms, motivations, and attitudes)
Interactive Skills - CORRECT ANSWER-the general ability to interact with the
external world to accomplish a task
Agonist Muscle - CORRECT ANSWER-Agonist muscles ("prime movers" cause a
movement to occur through their own activation. (i.e. the triceps brachii contracts,
producing a shortening contraction, during the up phase of a push-up (elbow
extension). In the bicep curl which produces flexion at the elbow, the biceps
muscle is the agonist)

, Antagonist Muscle - CORRECT ANSWER-The muscles that produce an
opposing joint torque to the agonist muscles. This torque can aid in controlling a
motion. The opposing torque can slow movement down - especially in the case of
a ballistic movement.
Fixator Muscle - CORRECT ANSWER-A fixator is a stabilizer that acts to
eliminate the unwanted movement of an agonist's, or prime mover's, origin. (I.e.
bicep curl - elbow flexion - by the biceps brachii. The biceps is attached at two
places, proximally and distally. Its distal attachment, the insertion, is to the radius.
One of its proximal attachments, the origin, is to the scapula. When the biceps
contracts it will tend to draw the radius and the scapula together. The movement
of the scapula must be prevented. This is accomplished by fixators - the trapezius
and rhomboids - which work isometrically to keep the scapula from moving on the
torso
Synergist Muscle - CORRECT ANSWER-A synergist is another muscle, besides
the agonist, that assists the movement of a joint indirectly
Classic Conditioning - CORRECT ANSWER-a learning process that occurs when
two stimuli are repeatedly paired: a response which is at first elicited by the second
stimulus is eventually elicited by the first stimulus alone (i.e. Pavlov's dog)
Three Stages of Motor Learning - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Cognitive Phase 2.
Associative Phase 3. Autonomous Phase
